Halloween is in the air!!

Halloween is in full swing & I feel like I am just now on jumping on board! I have been so focused on pumpkin spice everything that I haven't truly embraced the crazy costume ideas or the black and orange decor! This week is all about Halloween inspiration!

Today on the list is Halloween food ideas! 

If you have never been over to Mix and Match Mama's blog you have to check it out! Her recipes are so tasty & I must say these candy corn cupcakes are DELICIOUS & so incredibly festive. To get the recipe click here.

I promise these won't disappoint. 

What better way to eat your fruits than by disguising them into ghosts and pumpkins. Love this idea for the sweet kiddos in my life! 

These adorable little Frankensteins are over at A Turtle's Life For Me. They are too cute for a fun kid-friendly party! 

And Party Pinching cannot get any cuter with these Grave Yard Pudding Cups. I mean the creativity is remarkable! Such a unique & tasty Halloween treat! 

I love me some taco dip so I am positive that chickabug's Graveyard Taco Dip is on point. This is a must try for me before Halloween hits! 

Nothing like using tasty recipe ideas to get myself in the spirit for Halloween! 

Happy Tuesday, everyone! 

Word of the Week: Fallelujah

Happy, Happy Tuesday my friends! 

 A few weeks ago I started a new series called Word of the Week! Each week I am defining a word with a variety of images and quotes that convey the personal meaning of the word and how it relates to my life. Last week I chose the word bridesmaid and this week I am talking all about the word FALLELUJAH! 

To read last weeks Word of the Week post about the word bridesmaid click here.

If I am going to be totally honest with you, I think FALLELUJAH is my all time favorite word. Whoever created it in my eyes is an absolute genius. It just flows off the tip of your tongue so naturally & makes you want to do a happy dance! 

I feel as if this e-card is pretty relevant to my life right now. The sun hasn't stopped shining, but that isn't stopping me from all out embracing fall. 

And people who have this attitude, really need to realize that their negativity is bringing the rest of us crazy fallelujah lovers down. Come on people! We need everyone on board here. Fall and everything it has to offer is absolutely amazing & that includes pumpkin recipes! 

Here are some of my favorite reasons why I just adore fall & spend all my days singing FALLELUJAH...

Beautiful colors. Fall paints our world with stunning, refreshing colors. 

Surprise Pumpkin Pie Blizzards from the ones you love. 

Finally being able to burn a fire in your fireplace.

Carving pumpkins with your significant other.

and then carving your pumpkins with some of your absolute favorite friends.

Enjoying Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Lattes with your Bestie!

Having 'Bring Your Own Pumpkin Spice Latte' craft days with your girlfriends. More to come on this later! 

Fall wardrobes and booties. My heart melts over ankle booties. To read my post on my favorite little booties for this fall click here.

Purdue Football games! 

and fall wouldn't be complete without a bonfire with smores!

These are just a few depictions of what Fallelujah means to me. Each of these not only convey fall in my eyes, but all of them remind me of sweet, and cherish-able memories that have taken place during the fall. 

Happy Fallelujah, Y'all!!!

Monday's are always rough for me..especially when forced to snap back into reality after a fun filled weekend!

How am I coping with yet another week of school ahead? Well online shopping of course!

All of the fall trends are killing me. I am so in love with all of the layers and all of the comfort. One thing that sticks out to me that I am officially obsessed with are the adorable ankle booties that I see paired with every outfit.  I am in search of the perfect pair to snatch up for this fall and winter.

After doing some research here are my top five favorite pairs:

Fall Pinspiration

Hello there! Happy Tuesday!

If you know me at all, you know that I am crazy obsessed with fall and everything to do with pumpkins. Today I am going to be sharing my Pinterest inspiration for fall decorating and do-it yourself fall projects, especially fall projects that incorporate my love for pumpkins.

Here are a few of my fall decor inspirations...

I adore a welcoming, fall flavored entry way. It is just so warm and cozy feeling.

Fall table settings are an inexpensive and fun way to spruce up your house and give it the perfect fall look.

I also love mantels that scream fall. Here are a few signs that would be the perfect fall touch to any plain and boring mantel. 

 Happy fall decorating and planning!
